Time Factor Affecting Emotions in Design Thinking

抄録

To investigate the time factor of emotions in design thinking, particularly the formation of the impressions of products, we conducted an experiment to observe how participants experienced a set of basic designed products. We identified and compared the early formed and final core emotions. The findings show that core emotions are usually formed on the first contact, and were related to what people think about the product use. This confirms that the impression is useful to observe in design thinking.
